Sal's birth to Xavier

Hi Patricia,
Xavier Ren Freudenberg born half past midnight this morning. 8lb 5oz. He is lush :)
Induced last night with a pessary and sweep as combination of worrying factors (diabetes, too much fluid, baby's heartrate). Started up within couple of hours and built up quite quickly but manageably. Lovely active labour just using TENS. One 'sip' of gas and air in second stage but still didn't really like it. Lots of humming ;)
Was lucky enough to get Bracken midwife (male) Aki even though on labour ward. He was brilliant. Once fully dilated baby's heartrate dropped so had waters broken and he was literally out in 3 big pushes (under 5 minutes work!).
Will bring him in to yoga in a couple of weeks time.
Thanks for all your help and advice - particularly in getting him into a great position for birth :)

Sal x
